Gave personal attention to every detail of our gut renovation of our 1870s townhouse in Brooklyn. Unlike other firms where access to the named partners is often brief and limited, Hope was with us each step of the way and involved in every aspect of the project from design to selecting a contractor to overall project management. We could not be happier with the outcome, and look forward to our next project with Platt Dana! **★★★★★ — abbewalter, May 2017** > We highly recommend Platt Dana Architects. We specifically worked with Hope Dana on a total renovation and expansion of our home and are thrilled with the result. Hope's work is completely tasteful, elegant and timeless. She is also a lovely, kind, intelligent, fun person to work with. We completely trust and respect Hope, her opinions, her taste and her integrity as an architect and as a person. **★★★★★ — Seven Generations Construction, May 2017** > My construction company, Seven Generations Construction, recently completed a project for Platt Dana Architects in Jackson, WY. We primarily worked with Hope Dana and it was a complete pleasure. Hope and her team designed a beautiful house with excellent construction documents. They were very responsive when we needed additional information or details and they were open to recommendations from the field. I'm happy to say that our collaboration was a success and I can recommend Platt Dana Architects without any reservations. **★★★★★ — Andrew, March 2017** > Platt Dana Architects did an exceptional job creating our home in Brooklyn Heights. We worked with Hope Dana as our lead architect and she brought a wealth of experience, creative genius, pragmatism and patience to our project. She designed a full townhouse renovation with precision and an eye towards functionally beautiful design. Not only did we find her to be a joy to work with in the planning phase, but she was also invaluable during our construction work as she was an excellent problem solver and quickly worked with our builder, subs, etc. to resolve any issues or concerns. I highly recommend Hope for any project and clients would be lucky to have such a star to help them build their visions! **★★★★★ — Susan J Campbell, March 2017** > I hired Hope Dana of Platt Dana when I moved to New York to combine the 2 apartments I'd purchased because she was recommended by professional contacts on both the West and East Coasts, and because I could tell within a few minutes of conversation that she was trustworthy. I've never regretted my decision. She has a clean and modern sensibility that was in line with what I was looking for, she completed everything on time and within budget, and she produced a truly fabulous apartment that has been warm and comfortable for my family, while also being beautiful enough to warrant a display in Interiors Magazine. She does not like to waste money but can still produce beautiful results. On top of all that, she and her team were extraordinarily fun to work with: positive, exacting and eager to please. We met once a week to view progress and it was the highlight of my week. She continues to impress by always being right there if I need any additional work. You can't go wrong with Hope! ## Selected projects - [Union Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/union-street-pj-vj~2639687) - Location: Brooklyn, NY - Photos: 7 - [Brooklyn Heights Brownstone](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brooklyn-heights-brownstone-pj-vj~2381918) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 14 - [Jackson Hole House- 1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jackson-hole-house-1-pj-vj~2387103) - Location: Jackson, WY - Photos: 9 - Description: New Construction in Jackson Hole, Wyoming - [Renovated Farm House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/renovated-farm-house-pj-vj~2381874) - Location: New Canaan, CT - Photos: 10 - Description: Complete renovation and addition to antique farmhouse- including complete reorganization of rooms to create a hierarchy of spaces.
